Coffee Cake Crumble Muffins

I’m super excited about this post for two reasons. One, because I love me some coffee cake, and these muffins are out. of. this. world delicious. And two, because C&H® Sugar (my favorite sugar brand) has just released two fabulous new products that you guys have got to try!

When I first started baking, I didn’t like how “precise” I thought it had to be. I really loathed measuring things, especially dry ingredients like flour and sugar, because of all the spooning and leveling that happens to get the exact amount. Along the way I’ve learned little shortcuts, but by far the best one I’ve seen is C&H’s newest: their Pourable Golden Brown Sugar in a handy flip-top canister!

C&H’s Pourable Golden Brown Sugar is a free-flowing brown sugar that doesn’t harden or clump and makes measuring out brown sugar so much easier–there’s no need to pack it in, and it measures cup for cup with the ease of a sleek, pourable dispenser with a resealable flip-top lid. The brown sugar inside is granulated, which makes for easy finishes for oatmeal, fruit, or crumbles (like in these muffins!). They’ve also released their Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar, built in the same convenient and sleek dispenser, which virtually eliminates the need to refill your sugar bowl (another task I dislike!). The Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar has finer sugar crystals, which are ideal for dissolving into beverages, like iced tea, hot coffee, lemonade, or smoothies, while rapidly sweetening them.

I just love how pretty the bottles are and how simple they are to use! No measuring out, no packing it in, no spooning & leveling–simply pour into your measuring cup and you’re done. Sign. Me. Up.

Now… who wants muffins? These Coffee Cake Crumble Muffins are so wonderful and are made with C&H Pourable Golden Brown Sugar for that rich, sweet, brown sugar flavor we all know and love in baked goods. These are impossible to resist and couldn’t be simpler to make with my new sugar shortcut. Let’s get baking!

These Coffee Cake Crumble Muffins offer the best of both words: crumbly coffee cake in a convenient muffin form!

Ingredients

FOR MUFFINS:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 tsp baking powder

Pinch salt

2 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch nutmeg

½ cup oil

1 cup C&H Granulated Sugar

2 eggs

½ cup buttermilk

1 tsp vanilla extract

FOR CRUMBLE:

1 cup C&H Pourable Golden Brown Sugar

½ cup C&H Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 stick butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 muffin cavities with about 18 paper liners; set aside. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently stir in the wet ingredients until batter just about comes together - batter will remain lumpy, and don't overmix! Overmixing leads to tough muffins. Set batter aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the crumble ingredients. Stir until thick, coarse crumbs form. Set aside.

Fill muffin cups about ⅔ full with the muffin batter. Top with a heaping Tablespoon or two of the crumble mixture. Bake for approx. 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F and continue to bake for approx. 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

I mean, who can resist a muffin that’s bursting with brown sugary crumbles on top? Not I. Swoon. Be sure to connect with C&H Sugar on their website for recipes, news, and their .75 cent-off coupon! Have a sweet day!

My birthday is this weekend and I would love to make these for breakfast! What an amazing way to start off my 24th year on earth. Coffee cake is my guilty pleasure. I like brown sugar in my chocolate chip cookies!! 🙂

Brown sugar is my secret weapon when I need a sweet topping but don’t have any whipped cream on hand; I just mix brown sugar into sour cream, and I have a delicious topping for things like strawberry shortcake. The mixture even works as a fruit dip.
